The county magistrate's wife carefully looked at the reborn Qiao Huaping calmly.

A woman in her prime is like a piece of beautiful jade that has been washed away from the dirt on the surface, just a little bit of it is enough to see the beauty of it.

Her almond eyes are bright and calm, as if reflecting the brightest clouds in the sky; she is obviously a village woman working in the fields, but her skin is white and thin, as if made of tender tofu.

Finally, the county magistrate's wife's eyes fell on Qiao Huaping's satin-like waterfall hair.

There were no other ornaments on the girl's head, just a simple silver hairpin wrapped in apricot blossoms, and her hair was pulled up, but the more insipid the jewelry, the more the luster of the hair itself was so dazzling, it set off her whole body. Brighten.

The county magistrate's wife involuntarily gasped when she saw the end.

In the past, she had a birthmark on her face, and everyone always focused on the birthmark on her face, but ignored the beauty of her eyebrows.

Sun Shike did not notice the abnormality of her aunt, she was holding Qiao Huaping's hand in surprise and sigh, as if she had returned to her girlhood when she was still in her boudoir.

She asked with concern: "Sister Qiao, what happened to the previous case?"

Qiao Huaping said with a smile: "Those thieves have all the witnesses and material evidence, and the county magistrate has already taken them into custody." She smiled brightly, "The people are all praising the county magistrate as the master of Qingtian."

Sun Shike was also very happy to hear that.

The county magistrate's wife finally came to her senses after hearing this, and couldn't help asking: "What kind of case is it?"

Qiao Huaping told the story.

The county magistrate's wife looked at Qiao Huaping's more beautiful face, and thought to herself, it's no wonder the thief couldn't control such a pretty widow.

Of course, it would be rude to say that.The county magistrate's wife only said: "The master will definitely punish such bad behavior."

Sun Shike followed suit and nodded.

After chatting for a while, the county magistrate's wife smiled and ordered the servant girl to prepare the meal, and said to Qiao Huaping: "Miss Qiao, have you eaten before? Today is also your fate with Sister Ke, so let's stay and eat together."

Qiao Huaping said with an apologetic face: "Madam Rong, I came to the county to escort the thieves today, and some loyal villagers from our village came with me to testify for me. They are still outside now, and I asked them to find a room." The tea house rests and waits for me..."

The magistrate's wife understood.

It's unpleasant to be rejected, but the county magistrate's wife thought about it, which shows that Qiao's heart is not to cling to the powerful.It's also reassuring for such a person to associate with Sister Ke.

A smile appeared on the county magistrate's wife: "Okay, I'll let the servant girl see you off."

Sun Shike was a little bit reluctant, and took Qiao Huaping's hand: "Sister Qiao, are you leaving now?"

It's rare for her to come out. If she misses this time, she won't meet again until the next time.

Seeing that Sun Shike seemed to have lost weight, Qiao Huaping paused slightly, thinking that Zhu Shoubei was not good to her?

But Qiao Huaping, an outsider, is not easy to ask about this kind of matter between husband and wife. She softened her voice and just smiled: "My yard has been built, and it is quite spacious. If you have time, you can also go to my house. Then sit down for a while."

A light flashed in Sun Shike's eyes, and she immediately said, "Okay, that's the deal!"

I was afraid that Qiao Huaping would repent.

Qiao Huaping smiled and said, "It's good that Ms. Sun doesn't dislike her."

Sun Shike wanted to tell Qiao Huaping more, but she didn't know what to say for a while, so she reluctantly asked Mo Qian to send Qiao Huaping out.

It's just that when Mo Qian came back, he took another handful of something in his hand and handed it to Sun Shike: "Ma'am, this is from Mrs. Qiao. It is said that the candy she got from Westerners by chance is called milk candy. are all different.”

Sun Shike looked curiously at the handful of "Western candy" with gorgeous sugar coating in her hand, she took out a piece clumsily, peeled it carefully, and put it in her mouth.

The rich milk flavor and sweetness spread in the mouth.

It was actually delicious that Sun Shike had never tasted before.

Sun Shike's face rarely showed a bit of girlish joy: "Auntie, this western candy is really delicious! Auntie should try it too!"

Like offering a treasure, she also peeled one for the county magistrate's wife, and fed it to the county magistrate's wife herself.

The county magistrate's wife originally wanted to talk nonsense, but when she saw the long-lost innocent smile on her niece's face, the county magistrate's wife paused, and let Sun Shike stuff the western candy into her mouth.

After eating this, the county magistrate's wife had another meal, and then she couldn't help nodding her head and praised: "It's really delicious."

Sun Shike laughed happily.

The county magistrate's wife couldn't help laughing too.

Xindao, this Joe really has a heart.

At dusk, Zhu Shoubei came off duty and came to pick up Sun Shike from the residence. Magistrate Wang asked him to have a drink.

After drinking, Zhu Shoubei and Sun Shike were released back home.

County magistrate Wang drank and came to the county magistrate's wife drunk.

The county magistrate's wife looked indifferent, and ordered the servant girl to prepare water and serve the county magistrate Wang to wash.

A hot handkerchief was placed on Magistrate Wang's face, and he heard his wife speak in a calm tone: "Master, how do you plan to judge Qiao's case today?"

Magistrate Wang was stunned, and it took him a while to realize what his wife was talking about.

Magistrate Wang thought of the money secretly given to him by the families of those thieves in the afternoon. Although it was not much, he did not dislike it!

County Magistrate Wang coughed: "Anyway, the culprits were punished for their leg injuries. In my opinion, they can be put back after being beaten for a few days."

The magistrate's wife frowned behind Magistrate Wang.

But her tone is still steady: "The Qiao family is our sister Ke's savior - come here today, I see that sister Ke likes her very much, and I will visit Qiao's house soon. If you let her go After those thieves, they went to find Qiao's trouble again, accidentally bumped into Sister Ke, or annoyed Sister Ke—what do you make Zhu Shoubei think?"

County magistrate Wang was taken aback, and after thinking about it for a while after being drowsy from drinking, he didn't care and said: "This, this is easy to handle. According to the law, those thieves should also be locked up for half a year, so let them be locked up first." ——Half a year, this is enough for sister Ke to be a guest."

The county magistrate's wife almost sneered.

County magistrate Wang turned around, and the county magistrate's wife still had the same virtuous and virtuous face as before: "Master is really wise. No wonder I heard that the people outside are praising him as Master Qingtian."

Magistrate Wang stroked his beard proudly and laughed.

He thinks that although he is a bit greedy, he is still a good official who cares for the people, and has done a lot of practical things, so he naturally deserves to be the master of the blue sky.

……

But at the other end, Qiao Huaping left the county office and went directly to the appointed place to meet with Sister Du and the others.

A few people found a place to eat together, and met here after an appointment for an hour. Everyone dispersed, and went shopping with their baby buyers.

Qiao Huaping came out today without any children, so she was alone.

She simply walked around by herself.
